A deputation to Oro-Medonte Committee of the Whole
22 Feb 2006 at 1.00 p.m.
By Jim Woodford
A war of words is being fought over a huge pile of gravel.
It features the Oro-Medonte Musketeers (MacDonald, Williams and Craig) and
the Aggregate Anti-environmentalists (Lafarge and Aggregate Producer's Association).
A subjunctive verb took out Environment First. It was blown to smithereens.
_ A pluperfect past participle obliterated "Council must approve Environmental
Impact Statements."
Under a white flag the Medonte Musketeers offered the Aggregate people access
to the very heart of the Moraine.
They also said you can use your bulldozers and giant earthmovers to "enhance"
the Moraine environment. We'll even enshrine it in the Official Plan (of course we won't
tell the Councilor citizens about it.)
Fortunately a Citizen's Militia, under the unlikely title of An Ecological Advisory
Committee has volunteered to fight a rearguard action.
Unlike the Medonte Musketeers they know the Moraine intimately and can fight a
guerrilla war for years.
Citizens are clamouring for the Oro-Medonte Modem Major-General to resign
following the ignominious defeat.
Council should move to empower the Citizen's Militia a.k.a. the Ecological
Advisory Committee to continue the battle to save the Ore Moraine.
The first line of defence will be "Species at Risk."
Some of the best naturalists and environmentalists live on or near the Oro
Moraine. One vital thing they can do is providing site-specific data on "Species at Risk".
Special protection under provincial and federal laws comes to areas where "Species at
Risk" are found. For example naturalist David Hawke knows 6 areas where the
endangered American Ginseng grows. Council can "thumb-their noses" at Lafarge and
AOP A over this one!
1
.
.
Township consultants have no idea where "Species at Risk" are found on the
Moraine.
The next task for the Ecological Advisory Committee is to provide input into
amendments to OPA 16's requirements for Environmental Impact Statements.
First, there must be a three-year, three-season inventory of all flora and fauna on
the subject property.
A decision by OMB Hearing Officer J. R. Mills (October 24,1994) required the
establishment and implementation of an environmental monitoring program on subject
properties. The order also established an Environmental Committee to oversee all aspects
of the long-term program.
The monitoring program was to be conducted over a three-year period_
This is the legal precedent Oro-Medonte should follow.
Oro-Medonte should set provincial standards for the contents of an EIS requiring
that every living thing be catalogued. This is vital if the new Section of OPA 16 -Net
Environmental Gain - is to be implemented.
Experts must assess the EIS and a report sent to the Ecological Advisory
Committee (EAC). The EAC will examine the report, do further field investigation and
submit a report to Council.
Council must approve the EIS before a development application is approved.
The second task for the EAC is to determine the most ecologically important
areas on the Moraine.
Fortunately an excellent study by David and Juliana Hawke -Ora Moraine
Project 2001-2002 - provides a framework for the Committee to begin its work. I will
give Bruce Hoppe a copy of the Hawke Report this afternoon.
I will give you a copy of one of Hawke's maps. I won't waste one on the Mayor
who has said time and time again we don't need an Ecological Advisory Committee.
As you will see from the map most of the ecologically important areas are known.
In addition there is considerable site-specific data on the flora and fauna of these areas.
The EAC should visit these areas in the spring to determine what further surveys need to
be done.
Then the EAC should recommend a program of land acquisition to Council.
2
.
Couchiching Conservancy volunteers (many of whom might be members of the
EAC) have found just about as many species of vascular plants and birds at the East
Coulson Nature Reserve as Azimuth did on the Internet for the entire Moraine. In
addition Dr. Nancy Ironside has identified over 100 species of mushrooms and Lenore
Atwood had found over 50 species of butterflies_ Margo Holt, who coordinates the study,
is working on Tiger Beetles.
Council should consider entering into an agreement with the
CouchichingConservancy to encourage Moraine landowners to enter into conservation
easements.
I will fully cooperate with Council to use science to protect the Moraine.
It is time to turn all Townships planning over to Bruce Hoppe and his newly
expanded staff.
Council should enact a one-year moratorium on new development applications to
allow time for the above to be put in place.
A disturbing note - Lafarge and the World Wildlife Fund have an agreement to
rehabilitate pits and restore biodiversity. I e-mailed Leanne Duncan at the WWF to
inform WWF that Lafarge was seeking to have all environmental safeguards removed
from the Oro Moraine. I did not receive a reply. I guess Lafarge's financial contribution
to WWF is more important than protecting the Oro Moraine.
A more disturbing note - after all this Melanie Horton, Lafarge's Land use-
planning manager was quoted in the Packet and Times: " We (Lafarge) don't have any
plans in the short or medium term to expand any of our operations." So why did the
Musketeers cave in so quickly?
A final note - Mayor Craig you are quoted in the Packet and Times - as saying
that a motion from Deputy Mayor Hughes was stricken from the Minutes because it
contained misinformation. You should know - you have been misinforming residents
for years about protecting the Oro Moraine. As long as you have been Mayor it has
not been protected and unless urgent action is taken it will NEVER be protected.

1.1 Introduction to the Oro Moraine Proiect
1. 1 a. The Couchiching Conservancy.
The Couchiching Conservancy is a non-profit, non-government organization
dedicated to holding natural lands in trust for the public benefit. Registered in
1993, the Couchiching Conservancy is affiliated with the Federation of Ontario
Naturalists and the Ontario Land Trust Alliance.
1. 1 b. Goals of the Oro Moraine Project.
This study was undertaken to provide a tool for better understanding the
biological functions of the moraine, as well determining pressures and impacts of
human encroachment.
The findings of this survey will be used to educate landowners as to the
importance of their woodlands to the overall biological health of the moraine, as
well as supporting their individual interests to practice conservation of the natural
resources.
GOALS of Oro Moraine Proiect (as set out in April 2001):
. 1. Gather information in regards to biological field data and site evaluation.
2. Create a general data base of the natural features within Oro Moraine.
3. Locate sites of Species At Risk (e.g. Ginseng, Red-shouldered Hawk)
4. Connect with landowners who are not involved with previously 'protected' or
'designated' lands. ( e.g. wetlands, County forests, aggregates or other)
5. Determine candidate sites and make landowner contact.
6. Provide willing landowners with an inventory and map of their property.
7. Solicit land protection agreements and easements on properties within the Oro
Moraine territory.
8. Work with other agencies and individuals to provide a sharing of information
(Oro-Medonte Township, MNR Natural Heritage, Stewardship, SSRAP,
Naturalists' Clubs, Huronia Woodlot Owners, geologists)
9. Prepare summary report of above work.
10. Provide advice, direction and goals for future projects.

1. 1 d Project Staff
.
Co-ordinator for most of the project's duration was Kerry Green. Kerry
acquired maps, air photos, and land ownership information; she made contact with
landowners for permissions and kept records of all correspondence. Ron Reid
became project co-ordinator for the latter part of this field survey.
Field Bioloqist for the moraine study was David Hawke. David determined
the site boundaries, compiled the field data sheets, and updated all mapping. He
collected data at most of the 183 field stations. David then summarized the data
and presented it in this report.
Field Assistants were Catherine Trainor, who worked with Kerry in the
office and collected some of the field data; and Juliana Hawke, who provided
identification skills for some of the species encountered.
The Oro Moraine Project was guided by a Technical Committee, comprised
of several members of the Couchiching Conservancy. They were:
Sandy Agnew
Gord Ball
Ted Duncan
Kim Gavine
Janet Grand
Margo Holt
Ron Reid
Jack Seigel

1.1e Land Owners.
Over 200 people are registered landowners within the moraine study area.
Most were contacted by letter, telephone or field visit. The majority were in favour
of field staff visiting their property to gather data for this project. A number of land
owners could not be reached, or did not respond to the information sent out. A few
landowners requested that field staff do not enter upon their lands to gather data.
A special "thank you" is extended to those land owners who allowed us (at
times invited us) to view their property. They are thinking as stewards for the land,
and their actions and interest indicate that conservation options will be considered
whenever land uses decisions are required.
1.2 The Oro Moraine.
1.2a Creation of the moraine.
.
A moraine is a topographic feature left behind by a melting glacier, the
landform typically consisting of till (unsorted gravel aggregate). There are a
number of moraines throughout central Ontario, another famous one being the
Oak Ridges Moraine.
Moraines harbour not only gravel deposits, but are also the protective cap
to underground water resources. While often considered difficult to farm profitably,
the gravelly and well-drained moraine soils are perfect for hardwood tree growth.
1.2b Uses of the moraine.
Due to their slopes, moraines make exciting ski hills; due to their gravel
deposits, moraines provide lucrative gravel pits; due to the underground waters,
moraines attract water extraction interests; due to their dense woods and easy to
maneuver top-soil, moraines are sought as estate housing lots; due to their rolling
topography, moraines support challenging golf courses.
1.2c Concerns about the moraine.
.
The once wide-spread canopy cover of the hardwood forests has been
nipped away over the past 200 years as settlement arrived to Oro and Medonte
Townships. The removal of white pine for lumber and the removal of tree cover for
agricultural fields resulted in the open areas quickly turning to blow-sand and
eroding. Concession roads soon bisected the woodlot interiors, and fragmentation
of the moraine's forest cover has been the result.
. Today, it has become realized that many species of birds require large
woodlots in which to establish nesting territories. Some plants also require the
heavier shade and protection of a mature forest. The diminishing populations of
such species as red-shouldered hawks, scarlet tanagers, ginseng and others is
the result of forest fragmentation and loss of interior habitat.
The Oro Moraine is under constant and intense interest from developers,
whether for recreation space, living area, aggregate extraction or water extraction.
1.2d Designated Areas
Two sites on the moraine were identified years ago as Areas of Natural
and Scientific Interest (ANSI), one site of Regional Significance is the Martin
Farm and the other, Ruqbv West Kame Hills, is of Provincial Significance.
Discussions of current conditions of these ANSI areas are found in section 4.10 of
th is report.
.
Provincially significant wetlands are included within the study area as
well as surrounding the moraine, being supplied with water from the underground
aquifer and above ground streams. The East Coulson and West Coulson wetlands
are within the moraine boundary, and the three large wetlands fed directly by the
moraine's watersheds are Bass Lake Swamp, Hawkestone Swamp and Craiq's
Swamp of Copeland Forest. These are the headwaters of three river systems.
Maps provided by Ministry of Natural Resources indicated sites of Old
Growth Forest. Unfortunately there was no accompanying information as to what
species were found there, or why they were designated as old growth. Field staff
tried to locate such stands while setting field stations.
Many Simcoe County Forests are located on the Oro moraine. These
tracts of public land are managed by the County primarily for their timber value.
Most tracts had maps and information provided as to age and species of trees
found at each site. (see Section 5, Appendix: Table 22)
.
. 1.3 Existino Mappino
1.3a Sources and Partners
Existing maps of the Oro moraine area were obtained from the Ontario
Ministry of Natural Resources (Midhurst Office); Severn Sound Remedial Action
Plan (Midland); Sir Sandford Fleming College (Lindsay); and The Township of
Oro-Medonte.
These maps provided information on previously established areas such as
wetlands; Areas of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI); deer yards; aggregate
zoning and applications; and forest cover.
1.3b Aerial Photographs
Air photos taken in 1989 at 1: 1 0,000 were used in this project. These
photos were taken using infra-red technology, and provided good contrast of
different forest canopies. An index map was used to determine which photos were
required, and subsequently ordered.
. 1.3c Ontario Base Maps
Ontario Base Maps (OBMs) are black and white line maps prepared from
1: 1 0,000 air photos taken in 1983. While some of the visual information has
changed since the time of photography, OBMs provide excellent topographical
information, as well as showing fencelines and forest edges.
1.3d OMNR GIS Maps
These maps provided clear information on the positions of lot lines within
concessions, forest cover, public lands (mainly Simcoe County Forests), and other
biological data. An acetate overlay was used to plot the site boundaries on these
maps.
1.4 Study Area Boundarv.
The boundary of the Oro Moraine study area determined where to
concentrate field study efforts. Although corridors of vegetation and streams do
enter and exit the study area, a working boundary was established that captured
the focal area of the moraine.
.
.
Defining a specific boundary was difficult due to the mix of soil types,
geological history, water discharge/recharge areas, and municipal/political lines.
Four different boundaries had been considered:
- Couchiching Conservancy/SSFC mapping project boundary;
- topographical boundary set at a common elevation;
- soils mapping;
- Azimuth planning boundary.
1.4a Couchiching Conservancy Boundary;
This was established very early in the project so that Cartography/GIS
students at Sir Sandford Fleming College would have an idea of where the
moraine is located when preparing the initial maps. This worked for that
application, as most of the moraine was captured. However several nodes were
excluded and a large wetland area was included along the south border. This
boundary line is based upon lot lines (which is good for locations) but not on
geological or biological lines. There is concern that landowners will take this line
'for gospel' as to which properties are on or off the moraine.
.
1Ab Topographical Boundary:
This was determined by following the 875 foot (260M) contour line. An
'island' was formed, running from Orillia to Midhurst. The contour elevation chosen
was picked as it was the base of both the Bass Lake Kame and the Copeland
Forest interface, yet excluded the Bass Lake wetland and the Copeland Forest
Wetland complex.
The area is quite large and contains several areas of flat land that are not
typical of a moraine structure. Soils deposited by the glacier were pushed, not
dropped (generally) and therefore a mix of soils and topography occurs above the
875 foot elevation line, with some of those soils not being part of the moraine.
1Ac Soils Map Boundaries:
The Simcoe County soils map indicates a mix of post-glacial soils were left
in this study area. The largest deposit is Taiga sandy loam mixed with Vasey
loamy sand. Within this are several smaller deposits of the much sought-after
Sargent sand which contains a high percentage of gravel and till.
The soils map indicates several 'outposts' of similar soil types, yet they are
not connected to the Oro Moraine. Soil types can be hidden under other soils (due
to ancient lake actions) and the exact boundary is almost impossible to determine.
.
. 1.4d Azimuth Planning Boundary:
A plan prepared by Azimuth Environmental Consulting Inc. (Feb. 2001) for
a Township planning study, indicated that their study area is somewhat smaller
than any of the above. The boundary line includes a mix of soils and land use
considerations, as it crosses valleys at 90 degrees and excludes small
communities that might otherwise appear to be part of the moraine (Coulson,
Edgar, Dalston).
The boundarv line used for this study is very close to that used by Azimuth.
The edge of the moraine is very difficult to determine with accuracy, which means
that the line is open for discussion and refinement as field studies provide new
information. (see Figure 1. Map of Study Area and Site Locations)
1Ae Spatial Information
Area measurements were taken in 2001 using air photos, Ontario base
maps, and MNR land use maps to determine the following information:
.
The Oro moraine study area encompasses 31,800 acres, including
woodlands, agricultural areas, wetlands, aggregate operations, recreational areas
and residential properties.
The forested areas combine to make 18,450 acres, or 58% of the study
area. Woodland subdivisions account for 1,460 acres (8% of area); and aggregate
extraction sites covered 1,625 acres (5% of study area). The figures for aggregate
and subdivision zoning have increased over the last two years.
1.5 Site Boundaries.
1. Sa Main Sites.
A series of study sites were initially mapped to create a guide for field work.
Sites were determined by looking at the canopy coverage (on the air
photographs) within the study area. Continuous canopy maintained a site; a break
in that coverage created a boundary line to contain the site.
.
Typically a concession road would be a division between sites, as was the
hydro transmission line corridor. Open farm land was also a factor in separating
one site from another.
.
.
.
Generally, property lines of landowner parcels were not used to set site
boundaries (unless the edge of the forest cover followed a line between field and
forest). The exception was when dividing a woodland estate subdivision from a
larger site, in which case the outside of the subdivision's property lines were
followed.
If a site had definite hardwood or conifer stands, but were touching each
other, they remained as the same site.
Sometimes a roadway was present yet the canopy touched from one side
of the road allowance to the other. Generally, if the road was open for vehicle
travel, a boundary would be set. Occasionally a piece of adjacent woodlot would
be included if its exclusion diminished its status as a separate site.
Using the air photos, 49 sites were identified in this manner and
subsequently referred to by number. See Figure 1. Map of Study Area and Site
Locations.
1.Sb Satellite Woodlots.
If an isolated woodlot was too small to be considered a main site (I.e. less
than 50 acres in size) then it may have been 'attached' to the nearest site and
called a satellite. These were identified on the Site mapping.
1. Sc Woodland Subdivisions.
Six of the sites have woodland housing subdivisions carved into them. The
impact on wildlife from human activity is quite dramatic when compared to the
interior of the remaining site area. Predation of birds from cats, extra food supplied
at feeders, nesting boxes (or lack thereof), cultivated food sources, nursery grown
shrubs, altered rainwater runoff, noise, etc. all combine to make a woodland
subdivision a 'world onto itself.
Although the canopy may continue to provide cover to the subdivision,
these areas were deemed separate from the main site. See also 4.8 Woodland
Subdivisions.
1.6 Rankino of Identified Sites
An initial ranking system was applied to the sites so as to determine an
order of 'importance' when contacting landowners and conducting field visits. This
was not to say that Landowner A had a 'better' site than Landowner B, but rather
was to determine if one site should be visited first due to site conditions,
potential/real impacts or impending development pressure.
.
The order in which landowner permissions were received also formed the
schedule as to which properties/sites were visited ahead of others. See Table 1.
Site Ranking.
To begin the priority ranking process, each site was looked at with the
following criteria in mind:
Prioritv A:
large continuous canopy coverage (over 500 acres);
contained 600 feet (200 meters) of buffer to an edge, indicating interior
woodlot;
forest cover was mainly hardwoods;
riparian areas present;
old growth forest present;
contains ANSI boundary.
(8 sites identified)
.
Priority B:
medium continuous canopy coverage (200 to 500 acres);
contained 600 feet (200 meters) of buffer to an edge, indicating interior
woodlot;
forest cover was mainly hardwoods, or mixed with hardwood dominant;
old growth forest present.
(9 sites identified)
Priority C:
small amount of continuous canopy (100 to 200 acres);
minimal interior area;
fragmented from a nearby larger site;
hardwood dominant or mixed forest.
(6 sites identified)
Priority D:
interior lacking or minimal (less than 600 feet buffer from interior to
edge).
(4 sites identified)
Priority E:
majority of site zoned for woodland subdivision or aggregate extraction.
(13 sites identified)
.
Priority F:
close to but outside study area boundary
small (less than 100 acres) but obviously fragmented from a nearby site.
(3 sites identified)
.

1.7 Data Sheets and Field Stations.
1.7a Creating Data Sheets.
Data sheets were created by the contractor based on previous samples and
experiences with wetland evaluations, woodlot surveys, bird atlas sheets, and
specific, local requirements of the project.
The data collected had to provide a good 'snapshot' of what that station was
like, and how it could be compared to other stations in regards to plant cover,
animal life and land use. Data collected were used as an evaluation tool, not an
inventory tool.
Sheets had to be easy to complete and easy to read properly afterwards.
Rain, mosquitoes, wind and humidity all test the resolve of the field worker, and a
fussy data sheet would be ignored, or worse, incorrectly filled in. Therefore much
of the requested data was recorded as check marks, fill in the blank. Or circle the
correct answer. Provision was there should the field worker need to add notes.
.
The set of data sheets contained eight pages (all pages required that the
Site Number and Station Number be repeated, in case the sheets became
separated). See Section 5. Appendix: "Field Data Sheets".
1.7b Setting Field Stations.
Although strategies exist for stratifying a study area, the challenge here was
that a site often included numerous landowner parcels. Some landowners had
granted permission to visit their lands, others had requested we do not trespass
and other had not returned calls to indicate their permissions (and were therefore
considered 'off limits' for field work).
Rather than run compass lines on a grid, the field worker used the air photo
of the site, a copy of the OBM indicating topographical features, and best
judgement as to where to begin data collection.
If the air photo indicated, for example, three different canopy features (such
as untouched hardwoods, logged hardwoods with gaps in canopy, and a conifer
stand) then a station would be targeted near the center of each stand. Once basic
data was obtained, the field worker walked in a outgoing spiral, adding data to the
station sheets, until the makeup of the woods changed enough to warrant a new
station be established.
.
.
At times a property boundary would be encountered that prohibited access.
As much data that could be obtained from a 'fenceline' survey would be collected if
necessary. Collecting detailed data from unauthorized property was not allowed-
fenceline, roadside or air photo interpretation had to provide any information
gathered.
Over two summer seasons, 183 field stations were set within 31 sites on
the Oro moraine. By the end of the second field season, all sites ranked 'A' and 'B'
had received field visits; five of six 'C' sites were visited; two of four 'D' sites were
visited; all 13 "E' sites had visits; one of three 'E' sites had a visit and none of the
seven 'F' sites had received a visit.
1.8 Ecolooical land Classifications
The reference guide Ecological Land Classification for Southern Ontario:
First Approximation and Its Application (1998) was used to determine forest type
to the community level. This guide charts many typical types of habitats, providing
a systematic 'breakdown' of land cover from general terms to specific forms.
This ELC guide book also provided sample field data forms, some of which
were used or adapted for this Oro moraine study.
. While useful to indicate the type and variety of forest composition, this
guide does not place a value, a score nor a rank on the habitats listed.
See Section 2.1a Forest Types: Overview for more information on using
ELC.
1.9 Units of Measurement.
Most of the data within this report will be presented in Imperial units, rather
than metric. The reason for this is that the maps and equipment used, as well as
the original land divisions, were all non-metric. Acres, feet and miles remain the
quickest way to provide understandable information.
Metric conversions will appear occasionally. An example is the Basal Area
Factor of tree density, which is presented in square meters per hectare. The prism
used to gather this data was calibrated for this unit of measurement.
.
The original farm lots were divided into 100 acre squares, and those lot
lines are visible today as treelines and fencelines; to convert this area
measurement into metric (hectares) did not seem productive. Concession lines are
usually two lots wide, and five lots high between the sideroads.
.
1.10 Methodoloav
Several steps were planned and followed to ensure a good flow of
information use and data gathering. The following is a quick overview of the steps
and methods used to undertake this project.
Step 1. Previous mapping
The Severn Sound Remedial Action Plan (SSRAP), Ontario Ministry of
Natural Resources (Midhurst District), and Sir Sandford Fleming College
(Cartography/GIS) provided maps of the Oro moraine study area. Ontario soils
maps and topographic maps were also consulted.
Features of these maps were based on previous information and provided a
good starting point from which to gather new data.
Step 2. Boundary for study area
Several boundaries were proposed and discussed, the final decision being
to draw a "loose" line around the prominent moraine features and concentrate
efforts within the boundary. As described earlier, 49 initial sites (plus satellites)
were identified within this boundary.
.
Step 3. Air photos
Infra-red air photos (taken in 1989) were used to determine site boundaries.
The scale of 1: 1 0,000 was clear enough to determine most types of canopy cover.
Acetate overlays were attached to each photo to facilitate line drawings and
corrections.
Step 4. Ontario Base Maps (OBM)
Site boundaries as determined by the air photos were then transferred onto
black-and-white OBMs. Topography and plotted fencelines were used to register
the slightly distorted air photo data with the paper map. While the map data was
from 1983, the newer air photos and subsequent field visits confirmed or changed
the map information.
Step 5. Landowner map
Using the Oro-Medonte Township roll number and assessment maps,
landowner parcels and addresses were determined. Using an Acetate overlay
containing the site boundaries, the appropriate land owners were identified.
As permissions were granted or denied, a colour coding was applied to this
map (green for okay, red for no, and left as white until heard from).
.
.
Step 6. Field Data Sheets
A set of data sheets was designed for field use (see Section 5. Appendix:
Field Data Sheets). Information was to be gathered quickly, accurately and fully
while conducting a field visit. Some of the sheets were taken from or based upon
sample within the guide book "Ecological Land Classifications", while other sheets
were designed specifically for use in the moraine project.
Step 7. Field Visits
When permission was granted to trespass, the field biologist visited the
landowner parcel within the site. As several parcels could be within a single site,
the visits were staggered as permissions became available. Each station set was
numbered sequentially and plotted on the appropriate air photo.
Occasionally a parcel of land was surveyed from the road or across a
neighbouring fence. This was done only when access was denied or time was
limited. It was also used to quickly assess marginal sites to determine if the site
warranted a more detailed visit.
.
Step 8. Site Files
As the field data was gathered, files were set up for each site. Within the
site file the data sheets were sub-filed under the land owner's name. Each site file
contained the air photos used, an OBM section of that site with stations marked on
it, and any photos that may have been taken during site visits.
Step 9. Data Summaries
All the field data sheets were summarized as to topic on Excel
spreadsheets. These charts provided the basis of the final report, as data were
now organized in comparable columns.
Step 10. Site Summaries
Each site was then summarized, providing a complete listing of information
gleaned from all field stations within that particular site. Data was also compared
from that site against the data summary for the entire moraine.
As completed, these summaries were forwarded to the Couchiching
Conservancy office for inclusion with Land Owner Information packages.
.
Step 11. Vegetation Mapping
Using the individual site maps that had been created on OBM sections, the
hardwood and conifer cover of the moraine was then mapped. While a breakdown
of conifer vs. hardwood vs. wetlands vs. old meadow was easily determined, the
extent of coverage by ELC type was not plotted. Therefore, an area that has been
identified as hardwood cover, will not be sub-divided into maple-ash vs. maple-
beech areas since boundaries between these community types often intergrade
and are very difficult to map with accuracy.
.
Step 12. Final Report
The final report contains all the data used and collected in a readable
format. The technical committee met and determined that two reports should be
prepared, one being fairly detailed for internal office use and reference, and the
other being more general in nature to be used as a distribution copy and for
sharing information with other individuals and organizations.

SECTION 2: Summary of Field Data, to Site Level
2.1 Forests
2. 1 a Overview
Thirty types of Ecological Land Classification (ELC) forest cover were
encountered, ranging from mature hardwoods to thick conifers to open grown
fields. It should be noted that "hardwood cover" was the target of this study, and
therefore some types of conifer plantations that occurred on the moraine may not
be represented here.
The type of forest cover for each of the 183 field stations exhibited
differences between each other, even within the same site, while others were only
slightly different than the stations nearby. A forest stand may have two or more
types within it, their borders being very difficult to determine.
The hardwood canopy cover is dominated by hard (sugar) maple; few other
species ever dominated the station's hardwood canopy. (Note: the survey was
conducted with hardwood canopy species as the 'target' sites, which means these
types of stations are much more prevalent than other types within the data.)
.
Mixed-forest and swamp-forest occur more frequently around the edge of
the moraine, where water emerges into large wetland areas. Only a few stations
were set in this type of forest during this study.
Within the 183 stations set, the most common types of ELC hardwood
forest stands were:
maple-ash (57 stations)
pure maple (31 stations)
maple-beech (29 stations)
See Table 2. Ecological Land Classification.
The maturity of a forest stand indicates the types of wildlife that may be
expected to be there, as well as giving an indication of forest renewal and
regeneration. While somewhat subjective in capturing this data, field staff indicated
whether a station was pioneer (less than 10 years), young (10 to 20 years), mid-
aged (20 to 40 years) or mature forest (greater than 40 years).
.
Of the 183 field stations set, 117 were mature, SO were mid-aged, 13 were
young and 3 were pioneer stage. As a maple dominant forest reaches maturity it
also reaches the climax stage of succession, it that it renews itself without further
change to the forest species makeup. The mature stands are obviously well
established woodlots, and the other three types indicate that forest renewal is
underway.

183 stations
.
2.1b Forest ELC Classifications and Frequency:
Across the study area there were 30 types of Ecological Land Classification
forest cover encountered in the 183 field stations. They are presented here in ELC
order, using the letter-number code as explained in Table 2. Ecological Land
Classifications (e.g. CUP being a Cultivated Plantaion, FOD being a Deciduous
Forest).
CUP1-8 (1 station, 1 site):
This is a Cultivated Plantation, hardwoods dominant (red oak) with a hard
maple understory. Only one such stand was encountered, planted on County
owned property. While appearing healthy, it is many years away from being
harvested.
.
CUP3-1 (14 stations, 8 sites):
These are Cultivated Plantations, conifer dominant (red pine). Stations
were set in several stands, but not all as the target forests were hardwoods. See
the Discussion section of this report in regards to these conifer plantations being
part of continuous canopy cover, hardwood understory regeneration, and role as
wildlife habitat.
CUP3-2 (2 stations, 2 sites):
Cultivated Plantations, conifer dominant (white pine). One had white
spruce as the sub-dominant species, while the other had 30% hardwoods
understory.
CUP3-3 (1 station, 1 site):
Cultivated Plantation, conifer dominant (Scots pine) with white pine as the
sub-dominant species. Several other such stands may be on the moraine, but
were overlooked as we sought out hardwood stands.
CUP3-8 (1 station, 1 site):
Cultivated Plantation, conifer dominant (white spruce) with a hardwood
(poplar) understory. Several other such stands may be on the moraine, but were
overlooked as we sought out hardwood stands.
CUT and CUT1 (2 stations, 2 sites):
Cultured Thicket, being an abandoned field allowed to regenerate naturally
with pioneer species. One station was a maple-ash-poplar mix while the other
was a poplar-white birch grove. Generally, these types of stands are quite young
(less than 10 years) and the trees are too small to determine a dominant species.
.
. FOC3-1 (1 station, 1 site)
Forest, Conifer, with hemlock being the dominant species. In this stand,
white cedar was the sub-dominant species. This type of forest is fairly common
within the wetlands surrounding the moraine (e.g. Bass Lake Swamp, Hawkestone
Swamp). Only one station was set in this forest type, as the target stands were
hardwoods.
FOD1-1 (1 station, 1 site)
Forest, Deciduous, with red oak being the only dominant species. This was
unusual as the only other station with red oak only dominant was CUP1-8, an oak
plantation. This was wild grown oak (80%) with many large and medium sized
poplar as the understory (20%).
FOD2-4 (1 station, 1 site)
Forest, Deciduous, with red oak being the dominant species. Interestingly,
the oak comprised only 40% of the forest cover, yielding to 60% cover by a mix of
other hardwoods, yet still remained the largest percentage of that station.
.
FOD3-1 (2 stations, 1 site)
Forest, Deciduous, with poplar trees dominating the stand, with red oak
and hard maple being the sub-dominants. These stations are in an area that may
have been agricultural field 50 - 75 years ago.
FOD4-1 (2 stations, 2 sites)
Forest, Deciduous, with American beech trees being dominant. Unusual
in that beech are usually sub-dominant (see FOD5-2). One station is on west side
of study area, the other on the east side displayed beech dominant groves.
FOD5-1 (31 stations, 16 sites)
Forest, Deciduous, hard maple dominant. These stations had maple trees
being over 90% of the dominant species, sometimes 100%.
FOD5-2 (29 stations, 14 sites)
Forest, Deciduous, hard maple dominant, with American beech as sub-
dominant. Fairly common throughout the entire study area, these maple-beech
forests support a strong variety of woodland species.
FOD5-3 (6 stations, 4 sites)
Forest, Deciduous, hard maple dominant, red oak subdominant. While oak
trees are found scattered throughout the moraine, it is uncommon for them to be
this noticeable in the classification. Due to their requirement of fire to reduce
competition for seedling growth, their presence is limited to areas of historic fire, or
to sites with especially favourable growing conditions.
.
. FOD5-4 (1 station, 1 site)
Forest, Deciduous, hard maple dominant, ironwood subdominant.
Ironwood is commonly a minority species, so to find this site with it being sub-
dominant is quite unusual.
FOD5-5 (5 stations, 5 sites)
Forest, Deciduous, hard maple dominant, butternut sub-dominant. It was
40% of one station, and fell to 20% or 10% in others. This species also shows up
occasionally as 10% or less of other stations.
FOD5-6 (5 stations, 5 sites)
Forest, Deciduous, hard maple dominant, basswood sub-dominant. Most
of the basswood at these stations were large and mature. Basswood usually
appears as a shrub within a mature forest, often near a recent canopy opening. To
find stations with this species being sub-dominant was a little unusual.
FOD5-7 (2 stations, 2 sites)
Forest, Deciduous, hard maple dominant, black cherry sub-dominant.
While black cherry was often found as a lesser species as shrub layer or individual
mature trees, these two stations had 20% and 30% coverage by this species.
.
FOD5-8 (57 stations, 20 sites)
Forest, Deciduous, hard maple dominant, white ash sub-dominant. This
was the most common hardwood forest type encountered, although American
beech was often a close contender for sub-dominant.
FOD5-10 (4 stations, 3 sites)
Forest, Deciduous, hard maple dominant, poplar-white birch sub-
dominant. These stations were forest stands just coming out of the pioneer stage
and about to become a mature forest.
FOM2 and FOM2-2 (6 stations, 4 sites)
Forest, Mixed, either hard maple or white pine dominant. Mixed forests
were usually a successional stage short of being mature, or had water held near
the root layer of the trees. Poplar, white birch, yellow birch and other hardwoods
were present n the understory and shrub layers.
FOM5-2 (1 station, 1 site)
Forest, Mixed, poplar dominant with red pine subdominant. A dry site with
a mix of two sun-loving species.
.
FOM6, FOM6-1 and FOM6-2 (3 stations, 3 sites)
Forest, Mixed, hemlock either dominant or sub-dominant, with a mix of
other species both conifer and deciduous as sub-dominant.
.
FOM8-1 (1 station, 1 site)
Forest, Mixed, poplar dominant with white birch sub-dominant.
SWC1-2 (1 station, 1 site)
Swamp, Conifer, White cedar dominant. Balsam fir sub-dominant.
SWM5-1, SWM6-2 (3 stations, 1 site)
Swamp, Mixed conifer and hardwoods, includes soft maple, poplar, white
pine, balsam fir. This type is much more common regionally than indicated here,
as the large wetland swamps of Copeland Forest, Hawkestone Swamp and Bass
Lake Swamp, just off the moraine study area, contain huge tracts of these types.
2.1c Dominant species accounts:
The following species were found in enough abundance to warrant an
inclusion within an ELC code.
.
Red Pine: CUP3-1.
Usually found as cultivated plantations, these stands are common and
widespread across the entire moraine.
In the 17 stations where this species was found it was the dominant canopy
species in all 17 stations.
Diameters ranged from 4 to 14 inches, with the average size being 10-12
inches.
White Pine: CUP3-2. FOM2-2.
While the species is found scattered liberally across the moraine, only two
stations within conifer plantations indicated it as the stand's dominant species. As
a species, it was more commonly found as a co-dominant in the mixed forest
stations.
This species was encountered in 35 stations, being a canopy species in 26
of those stations. It was an understory species at 8 stations, a shrub layer at 10
stations and part of the ground cover at 5 stations.
Diameters ranged from 5 to 28 inches, with average size being 14-16
inches.
.
.
Scots Pine: CUP3-3.
Due to a variety of diseases this type of non-native forest plantation has
either been destroyed and replaced with red pine or white pine, or has been
abandoned and is now growing 'wild' and very thick.
Of the 5 stations in which it was noted, only one plantation had it as a
canopy species, others stations showed it to be understory or shrub layer, being
crowded out by hardier native species.
White Spruce: CUP3-8.
Scattered stands are found throughout the study area. Most are small
compared to the more common red pine plantations, yet are still quite obvious
especially as an edge plantings to other plantation species.
Six stations had this species, with 3 of them having white spruce as part of
the canopy.
Diameters ranged from 6 to 16 inches, with average being 8 inch diameter.
.
Red Oak: CUP1-8. FOD1-1. FOD2-4. FOD5-3.
The three red oak dominant stations occurred on the central and western
sections of the moraine, including one cultivated plantation of this species. A few
stations were maple dominant with a significant red oak component. This species
is either fairly mature or quite young, as it requires fire to give the acorns reduced
competition for seedling growth.
In the 54 stations that red oak appeared, 37 had it as a canopy species and
23 had it as ground cover (may have been both canopy and ground cover at some
stations).
Diameters ranged from 6 to 38 inches, with average being a 12 inch
diameter tree.
Poplar: CUT. FOD3-1.
Abandoned fields with pioneer species, such as poplar, birch and white
pine, are found scattered throughout the study area. These are back corners of
farms that are no longer worked, or are larger fields that have been abandoned for
10 years or more.
Trembling aspen occurred in 16 stations, 9 of those as a canopy species.
Large-tooth aspen occurred in 12 stations, almost exclusively as a canopy
species.
Diameters of trembling aspens ranged from 5 to 14 inches, the average
. being 10 inch diameter.
.
American Beech: FOD4-1. FOD5-2.
While found commonly, beech tend to grow in 'colonies', in that they are
clustered together. While most commonly being sub-dominant to hard maple, two
stations were set with this species being dominant. Large diameter beech usually
exhibited signs of heart-rot, diminishing its economic value while strongly enriching
the landscape as wildlife habitat. Often found along old fence rows, roadsides and
formerly open areas (such as woodlots heavily grazed by cattle).
American beech occurred in 126 of the 183 stations, with 80 occurrences
as canopy, 38 as understory, 75 as shrub layer, and 13 as part of the ground
cover.
Diameters ranged from 8 to 30 inches, the average beech being 12-14
inches.
Hard Maple: FOD5-1. -2, -3, -4. -5, -6. -7, -8. -10, FOM2-2. FOM6-1.
Perhaps better known as Sugar Maple, this species was the most
widespread and common of the hardwood dominants. (Soft maples, also known as
Red Maple or Silver maple, are not included here.)
.
This species occurred in 179 of the 183 field stations, being a canopy
species in 151 stations, understory in 145, shrub layer in 146, and appearing with
ground cover in 108 stations.
Diameters ranged from 4 to 36 inches, the average sized maple being 12-
14 inches.
Ironwood: FOD5-4.
Almost always a scattered and minority species, it appears once as a
subdominant within a hard maple stand. A few larger sized ironwoods were found,
but it was most common as a shrub species.
87 stations included ironwood, with 23 of them seeing it as a canopy
species, 21 as understory, 62 as part of the shrub layer, and only 6 stations as
part of the ground cover.
Diameters ranged from 3 to 20 inches, the average being a 6-8 inch tree.
.
Butternut: FOD5-5.
This species was a surprise to the field biologist, as it was found much
more readily than anticipated. However, it is not a common occurrence, and
should be viewed as a rather unique species. When encountered it was usually a
sub-dominant or lesser species. Concern has been raised by the County Forester
that once a butternut reaches the canopy or becomes a dominant tree, it is
susceptible to diseases born by insects (similar to Dutch Elm disease).
.
This species was noted in 31 field stations, occurring within the canopy in
29 of those stations. 2 other stations had it within the understory. Butternut was
not noted as a shrub layer or ground cover.
Diameters ranged from 8 to 20 inches, the average being 10-12 inches.
Basswood: FOD5-6.
Basswood trees usually grew in tight clusters and near sunlight. Large
specimens were encountered occasionally, although it was also often found as
shrub layer.
77 stations contained basswood, with the species being within the canopy
at 49 of those stations. It occurred as understory in 3 stations, as shrub layer at 39
stations and part of the ground cover in 6 stations.
Diameters ranged from 10 to 24 inches, the average tree being 14 inches.
Black Cherry: FOD5-7.
A few large specimens were encountered, but most black cherry was small
in diameter and often weather damaged. Found both as a fenceline species and a
forest interior.
.
This species appeared in 63 stations, being a canopy species in 52, as part
of the understory in 9, a component of the shrub layer in 11, and only once being
considered part of the ground cover.
Diameters ranged from 6 to 20 inches, the average being 8-10 inches.
White Ash: FOD5-8.
White ash trees are as common as beech and almost as common as hard
maples. Usually found as tall, straight, healthy trees, this species is found
throughout the moraine study area.
Being found in 137 of the 183 field stations, white ash was a canopy
component at 99 stations, an understory species at 19 stations, part of the shrub
layer in 43 stations and was noted as ground cover at 44 stations.
Diameters ranged from 5 to 24 inches, the average being 12-14 inches.

White Birch.
Usually found as single trunks scattered throughout a woodlot. Common
across the study area. White birch was found in 41 of the 183 field stations, being
part of the canopy in 39 stations. At 8 stations it was found as understory and as a
shrub layer at 5 stations. There are no records of this species being part of ground
cover.
Diameters ranged from 5 to 16 inches, the average being 10 inches.
Yellow Birch.
This species was found more often than expected, as most stations were
set in well drained areas. While still an affinity with wetter areas, yellow birch
specimens were found across the study area. Yellow birch was noted at 23 field
stations, being in the canopy layer at 17, the understory at 6 and the shrub layer at
3 stations. No ground cover was found with this species.
Diameters ranged from 3 to 24 inches, the average tree being
.
Choke Cherry.
This shrub was found along the outer edges of woodlots, enjoying the
sunlight. Most were affected by black knot disease, although a few were quite
healthy. It was often seen as a fenceline species. Choke cherry was recorded at 2
stations, being an understory species at both stations.
Red Cherrv.
This small tree was common in open areas of pioneer forest, usually in an
abandoned field. It was recorded at 8 stations, being in the understory at 1 and as
shrub layer at 7.
Alternate-leaved Doqwood.
Somewhat uncommon on the moraine, this sparsely branched shrub was
found at 8 stations, always in the shrub layer.
American Elm.
Any large specimens of this species were found as single grown trees along
open fencelines. Thousands of shrubs exist, but the landscape is almost devoid of
these once majestic trees. Elm was noted at 8 field stations, being in the shrub
layer at all stations.
Red Elderberry.
This shrub was very common throughout the study area, often growing in
large patches near breaks in the canopy. Red elderberry was found as a shrub at
54 stations.
.
.
Beaked Hazel.
Uncommon to the area, beaked hazel grows as a many stemmed shrub
cluster. It was found only at 4 stations, being within the shrub layer at each.
Hawthorn.
This species (could be several sub-species as it hybridizes readily) is
common in pioneer stages of forest growth, often dotting an abandoned field or
appearing along fencelines. Only 4 field stations actually recorded it, all as shrub
layer.
Staohorn Sumac.
As this species loves the sun, it was not encountered often within a
woodlot. Very common on fencelines and within the pioneer stages of abandoned
fields. Staghorn sumac was found at 7 stations.
Balsam Fir.
This species, as well as the next two, likes to grow in well drained but fresh
soils, and was therefore usually found along the lower slopes. Balsam fir was
recorded at 13 stations, with it being a canopy species at 3, an understory species
at 5, and within the shrub layer at 9 stations.
.
Eastern Hemlock.
Hemlock was noted at 14 stations, 9 times as canopy species, 4
occurrences as understory, 6 as shrub layer and once as part of the ground cover.
Diameters ranged from 5 to 24 inches, the average sized tree being 12-14
inches.
White Cedar.
Preferring damp soils, this species was not encountered often within the
hardwood stations. The surrounding wetlands contain many cedar trees. This
species was recorded 10 times, 4 as canopy, 6 as understory, 3 as shrub and
once as ground cover.
Diameters ranged from 4 to 20 inches, the average being 8 inches in size.
See also Table 3. Forest Community Layering.

2.2 Woodland Herbaceous Plants.
2.2a Wildflowers
The herbaceous plants discussed here are commonly referred to as
'wildflowers' or non-woody plants. Note that these are species found in woodland
cover, as opposed to open field or wetland habitats. A number of other normally
sun-loving species were encountered along the sides of bush roads or in areas of
very open canopy, however not all of those will be discussed here.
Forty-nine woodland herbaceous species were listed, some very common,
and a few quite unique to the area.
A rank has been applied to the species, as determined by the field biologist,
according to their abundance within the Oro moraine study area. Common
indicates that the species is expected to be found in any of the hardwood sites;
scattered-common means that wherever growing conditions are favourable this
species will likely be found growing there; uncommon indicates that the species
shows up from time-to-time, and is of interest that it has been found; rare indicates
that the species has been located in only a few sites and is of interest to botanists.
(See Section 5. Appendices: Table 10. Woodland Herbaceous Plants.)
.
The top 10 most common wildflowers were:
Trilliums, Red and White
Cohosh, Blue
Solomon's Seal
Baneberry, Red and White
Mayflower, Canada
Violets, Canada and Yellow
Cicely, Sweet
Jack-in-the-Pulpit

One of the rare species, Wild Ginsenq, was discovered at 6 locations.
Difficult to find unless a person basically trips over it, it is probably a bit more
widespread than this figure indicates, although it's still far from abundant. The six
stations are located across most of the moraine, with a concentration of stations
near the middle of the study area.
Associate species of Ginseng include Spikenard and Pokeweed, both
species being fairly easy to observe if in the area. Sharing a penchant for similar
habitat, if spikenard or pokeweed were found, a closer examination followed for
ginseng. Spikenard was found at 18 stations and pokeweed at 8 stations.
.
.
Another of the rare species is also one of the prettiest, Purple-flowerinq
Raspberry. This large plant has leaves that look like maple leaves and a very
showy blossom. Found on only 7 stations, it prefers the sun dappled edges of
bush roads. Most of the stations were concentrated near the middle of the study
area.
Other rare species discovered were Wood Betony (2 stations), Early
Meadow Rue (2), Rattlesnake Plantain Orchid (2), Feverwort (1) and Runninq
Strawberry Bush (1). This last species was of great interest as this is the only
known site in Simcoe County; it does however become common in the southern
reaches of the province.
Squawroot was found on one station, in a oak-poplar forest in the west end
of the study area. This species has occurred in scattered locations in the county
(one is at Awenda Provo Park) related to the soils and soil fungus associated with
red oak.
Whenever the canopy was broken and sunlight allowed to enter, the ground
vegetation changed very rapidly. In one instance of a logging road, the entire
roadbed was a thick mat of Black Niqhtshade, yet not a single plant of this species
was found elsewhere in the woodlot. Judging from the logging evidence at hand,
this invasive species had colonized the area in just one growing season.
. Dandelion, milkweed, mullein, sweet cicely and thistle were also quick to
move into areas of opened canopy. The natural mix of woodland herbaceous
growth was seriously compromised when the sunlight was allowed in. Jack-in-the-
Pulpit, trilliums, violets and other shade-loving plants appeared stressed and
discoloured in these same clearings.
2.2b Ferns and their Allies.
Eighteen species of ferns were encountered within the Oro moraine study
area. One of the 'target' species searched for as part of the study was Ebony
Spleenwort, however a location was not found.
By far the most common fern of the moraine's hardwoods was Spinulose
Woodfern, found at 134 stations. Marqinal Woodfern was found at 18 stations,
determined from the former by close observation of the 'fruit dots' on the underside
of the fronds. The woodfern group is large and complex, with much hybridizing -
varieties were not identified during this study.
.
Rattlesnake Fern, with its interesting growth form, was found commonly at
47 stations. The sun and sand-loving Bracken Fern was noted at 17 stations,
although it could be found in most every abandoned field.

One of the smallest ferns of the area was discovered three times,
somewhat remarkable considering the size of Daisy-leaf Grape Fern. All three
stations were clustered mid-moraine, each having high, well-drained sandy soil.
Maidenhair Fern, always a botanist's delight, was located in 1 3 stations.
Whenever it was present it was in large colonies.
Cinnamon Fern, Interrupted Fern, Royal Fern, Oak Fern and Ostrich Fern
were each found once. Due to their preference for a wet habitat, they were noted
only in the few swamp-forest stations that were set.

2.3 Bird Species
Bird life within the study area is abundant and varied. Notes of observations
at the field stations do not fully indicate this, as most visits were done after the
usual early morning chorus, or after the breeding season of many species. To
more fully gather data, early season and early morning re-visits would have to be
conducted.
While the data presented here is from the field study, much more is
available from landowners, naturalists clubs and various bird-watching programs
of nature organizations.
Despite the somewhat restricted time allowed for each station (about 2
hours), some exciting discoveries were made. Thirty-six bird species were
observed, heard or found evidence of their presence. Of the 183 field stations set,
138 contained bird life at the time of the visit.
A 'target' species was the Red-shouldered Hawk, a bird of some rarity in
Ontario. One station provided a good view of this bird, yet within a few hundred
meters a new woodland subdivision was being created, threatening the future of
this species occupancy of the area.
.
The nest and young of a Northern Goshawk is one of few such records for
Simcoe County. Two stations yielded the presence of Scarlet Tanaqers, a
woodland species of incredible colour yet of diminishing population.
Wild Turkeys are fond of beech nuts, acorns and other woodland foods, and
their presence was noted at 11 of the field stations. This species was absent from
the area prior to the mid-1980's, but since a re-introduction program was
implemented, they are now a common denizen of the moraine.
Several species of songbirds are experiencing declines in their populations,
partially due to diminishing breeding habitat. These birds prefer large tracts of
hardwood forests with at least 100 meters (preferably 200) between the nest site
and the forest's edge. These large forests are becoming difficult to find. Found
within the moraine's forests were some of the birds on this list of interior nesters,
including:
Veery
Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Wood Thrush
Black-throated Blue Warbler
Scarlet Tanager

2.4 Mammal Species
Most mammal evidence was gleaned from tracks or reports from land
owners. Being shy to start with, and being inactive during mid-day hours, made
observing mammals very difficult.
Many of the sightings were done as mammals crossed roadways, and as
such did not become annotated within a certain site's records. Generally, all
mammal species which were observed or signs found, can be considered common
to the moraine. Species listed as reported by land owners can be considered
uncommon to rare.
Mammals observed or unmistakable signs found (17 species):
.
- Grey Squirrel (both black and gray colour morphs)
Eastern Chipmunk
Red Squirrel
- Groundhog
- White-tailed Deer
Coyote
Red Fox
Snowshoe Hare
Cottontail Rabbit
Porcupine
Raccoon
Striped Skunk
Little Brown Bat
Star-nosed Mole
Meadow Vole
- Woodland Jumping Mouse
Shrew sp.
Mammals reported by land owners (6 species):
Black Bear
Flying Squirrel
Mink
Short-tailed Weasel
European Hare (Jack-rabbit)
Fisher
.
.
2.5 Invertebrates.
The insects and other invertebrates of the Oro moraine are quite numerous
both in numbers of species and abundance. Like the birds, limited time at the field
stations did not permit detailed examinations of invertebrate populations.
Most land owner concerns are with the bothersome invertebrates, the ones
that often bite or sting people, or chew up the woodlot.
Common throughout were mosquitoes and deer flies, with only a limited
number of black flies noted. As black flies breed in running water, they were
encountered only near streams.
During the field seasons of 2001 and 2002 there had been several warnings
of Forest Tent Caterpillar invasions, however only one woodlot exhibited signs of
voracious feeding by these caterpillars. Similarly with signs of Gypsy Moths, little
evidence was found of their presence.
Of note was the discovery of an overnight roost of Monarch Butterflies
during their fall migration. They were clustered on an overhanging branch within a
woodland clearing. Many individual Monarchs were also observed throughout the
study area during their late summer migration flight.
. Two nests of Bald-faced Hornets were encountered, each hanging from
ends of branches in maple trees.
Further research can be done in regards to invertebrates, including tapping
into the records of Lenore Atwood, Bob Bowles, Margo Holt and Nancy Ironside.
2.6 Wildlife Habitat
Understanding wildlife's requirements for habitat is the challenge of forest
stewards. Food, water, shelter and space sound like simple components, but to
know what each species requires, how much, where, and in which season can be
daunting.
As a forest grows it changes the elements and amounts of its habitat
components. A young forest has few if any old rotting logs, and a mature forest
may have very limited shrub growth. During each successional change, the forest
provides homes for a varying amount of wildlife.
2.6a Vernal Pools.
.
A vernal pool is a short-lived body of water, usually caused by melting snow
or a heavy rainfall, caught in a depression. These small bodies of water are
.
essential for many amphibians and invertebrates to complete their life cycles. Due
to the fast draining characteristic of the sand and gravel within the moraine's soils,
this type of habitat was rare. Of the 183 field stations set, 26 had scattered vernal
pools and only 6 had common vernal pools. Total stations: 32.
2.6b Cavity Trees.
A hollow tree can be home for many species of wildlife. Bats, wood ducks,
raccoons, woodpeckers, flycatchers, and flying squirrels are just a few species that
rely on cavity trees to be present within their habitat. Cavity trees have often
been removed from woodlots for firewood, safety reasons or to let sunlight better
reach surrounding healthy trees. However, the removal of such trees does more to
harm than help to the natural balance of the woodlot.
Cavity trees are somewhat scarce on the moraine, despite the numerous
mature stands of timber. Of the 183 field stations set, 10S had cavity trees
scattered within the woods, while only 9 stations had cavity trees being commonly
found. Total stations: 124.
2.6c New Fallen Logs.
. Logs and heavy branches laying on the ground provide excellent habitat for
such species as salamanders, many types of mushrooms, mosses, and eventually
provide nutrients to young trees as a nursery log. However, most fallen trees and
branches are 'cleaned up' by land owners, thus interfering with this natural
recycling of forest nutrients. (This is not to be confused with the removal of tree
tops after a logging operation.) New fallen logs indicate potential habitat in future
years.
Of the 183 filed stations set, 78 had scattered new fallen logs while 72
contained common occurrences of new fallen logs. Total stations: 1S0.
2.6d Moss Covered Logs.
A moss covered log indicates that the forest has been somewhat
undisturbed for several decades, and therefore is probably in a fairly natural state
of climax forest regeneration. Many species rely on these old logs for shelter,
either by denning beside it or burrowing within it.
Of the 183 field stations set, S9 had moss covered logs scattered about the
forest floor, while 28 had them found commonly. Total stations: 87.
.
.
2.6e Rock Piles
Old fence lines or piles of field stones provide shelter for reptiles,
amphibians and small mammals. The moraine soil contained many stones that
had to be removed from fields prior to the planting of crops. Some of these original
fields have been long abandoned and are now covered with tree growth; the stone
fence lines are found deep within these second-generation forests.
Of the 183 field stations set, 38 had rock piles scattered within, while only S
had rock piles commonly found. Total stations: 43.
2.7 Observed Land Uses.
2.7a Logging.
Tree removal was commonly encountered across the study area. While
almost always done for firewood supply, the manner and intensity in which the
forest was logged varied greatly between land owner parcels.
Of the 183 field stations set, only 47 indicated that logging had not recently
occurred, and many of these were on sites of either young forest or wet woods.
. On S4 stations logging had taken place on a local level, meaning that the
trees removed appeared to be for personal use as firewood.
Widespread logging has occurred on 68 stations, having numerous trees
removed over most of the land owner's parcel but on a selected basis. Generally
this happens when the land owner sells firewood or logs in addition to their own
needs.
14 stations exhibited signs of extensive logging, resulting in a much
reduced forest cover. These are commercial operations involving skidders and
large trucks for removal of trunks. Most of these stations were found to be on
County owned property. Of note was that on 7 of these stations, the tree tops and
broken stems were left behind, with no effort made to clean the site. Ruts from
skidder operation in wet spring conditions also defaced the landscape at two
stations. (see also Section 4.7 Logging Practices.)
2.7b Maple Sugar Operations
.
Despite the abundance of maple trees, few land owners participate in
refining sap to syrup and sugar. Only 3 of the 183 stations had signs of an active
syrup operation, and only one had modern plastic lines. There may be some
'backyard' operations but none were noted.
. 2.7c Gaps in Forest Canopy.
Usually as a result of tree removal, and occasionally from natural death,
gaps in the forest canopy appeared with regularity. An opening, or gap, in the
canopy allows sunlight to penetrate the interior of the forest, often stimulating plant
growth that otherwise could not occur due to heavy shade. A little bit of this type of
activity is a good thing, however a lot of gaps result in a degraded mature forest
interior.
Woodlots with extensive logging also exhibited extensive and widespread
gaps in canopy. The resultant floral growth of sun-loving species (e.g. dandelion,
thistle, mullein, raspberry) indicates how quickly pioneer species can invade even
interior spaces.
Very few stands of timber were untouched by logging. Continuous canopy
cover is best found on Site 5 (oak-poplar), yet even there logging and subdivision
development threaten the large size of the stand.
2.7d Trails and Roads.
.
Almost every woodlot had a bush road through it, although the level of
repair ranged from overgrown to well-rutted. Only a few were used extensively,
those usually being unopened Concession lines now utilized by A TVs and/or
horses (e.g Line 2, Line 9). Bush roads on private lands were leaf-covered and
used seasonally or less.
2.7e Recreational Use.
Roads in County Forests were often used by public for bike riding, dog
walking, horse riding or ATV travel. The Ganaraska Hiking Trail cuts through
most of the moraine study area, and has varying intensity of use, being more
heavily used near woodland subdivisions.
Hunting occurs within many private and public woodllots, mainly for deer
and ruffed grouse in autumn and turkeys in springtime. Small game hunting
(rabbits and squirrels) does not appear as popular as it once was.
Commercial recreational uses includes golfing, down-hill skiing, cross-
country skiing, and mountain biking. Some woodlots are leased to conduct these
activities.
.
.
2.8 Vistas. UniQue Sites
Some stations provided spectacular views of the surrounding countryside,
and others were models of good forest management. The following are the places
that stood out as special parts of the moraine.
1. Simcoe County Forest: Schumacher Tract, Site 33.
This area has long been a 'hang out' for local youth prior to the establishment
of a pine plantation on the sand hills. The high hill top provides a sweeping
southerly view of the valley and Sites 31 and 34. While exhausting to climb, the
view is well worth the effort.
2. Line 9, Site 33, 32
This 'unopened' road allowance is often used by horses and A TVs. However, it
provides a unique view of the moraine, as the eroded roadsides show layers of
gravel deposits, and the surrounding hardwoods have not been heavily logged,
due to the rather vertical nature of the access road. Enter off either the
BassLake Sideroad or Horseshoe Valley Road.
.
3. Line 11, Site 40.
The 'unopened' Line 11 runs through the mature maple forests of the Bass
Lake Kame Hills and ANSI. Butternut is found along the sides of the roadway,
and impressive stands of hardwoods cover the steeply rolling hills. Purple-
flowering Raspberry grows in clumps along the southern portions of this
roadway.
4. Line 10, Site 40.
For a short section of Line 10, just south of the Bass Lake Sideroad, the road
twists and climbs through a beautiful open maple forest. Very picturesque,
especially in spring and fall. The roadsides are lined with white trillium and
perfoliate bellwort.
5. Line 5, between Sites 15 and 20.
This roadway has canopy that touches from side-to-side, and has fairly gently
rolling hills in unpopulated countryside. Squirrel corn, fawn lily, white trilliums
and bellwort in profusion along roadsides.
6. Site 15, Mack Williams' Property.
Along the easterly boundary is a steep ravine which allows tree-top viewing of
the property next door.
7. Line 2, South of Horseshoe Valley Road, Site 4a and 9.
A great walking trail along the road allowance, although sometimes used by
A TVs. Beautiful ravines and magnificent hardwood stands.
.
.
8. Line 1, South of Horseshoe Valley Road, Site 4a.
This 'unopened' road allowance is great for hiking or mountain biking. All land
to east is County Forest.
9. Site 5.
A very large expanse of hardwood forest is found on this 'island plateau'.
Squawroot and red-shouldered hawk found here.
10.Sideroad 30/31 between Sites 5 and 6.
A quiet sandy road that is shrouded with hardwoods and pine reforestation.
11. Line 1, Site 3b.
Each spring the fields are 'full' of deer as they leave the winter confines of the
deer yard in Copeland Forest. Easy viewing from roadside.
12.Kame Hill Formation, Site 38.
Viewed from the Bass Lake Sideroad, this unique landform is easily observed
in all seasons. A definite dome hill supporting a hardwood forest with a
scattering of large white pine trees. Nearby is Bass Lake Swamp.
2.9 Biolooical RankinQ of Sites.
. With the field data summarized, it became possible to re-rank the sites with
greater accuracy. The initial ranking (see 1.6 Ranking of Sites) was done from
existing mapping and looked at land mass and known uses; this ranking utilizes
new knowledge of biological features.
Three areas of data were used: land use, natural features, and owner
willingness. These were assigned a score of one or two, positive or negative, if
they were noted anywhere within the site.
Logging, intensive. (-1). Intensive logging disrupts the canopy, creating
large and widespread gaps. Ground level interference is also noted, with sun-
loving plants displacing shade tolerant ones, as well as some physical disruptions
such as ruts or trunk damage.
Aggregate activity. (-2). Pit operation requires the total removal of forest
cover, and has additional negative impacts from vehicle movements.
Housing Subdivision. (-1). Housing subdivisions were noted in six sites.
While the actual subdivision sub-site was not included in the following table, the
main site was deducted a mark.
.
Recreational, intensive. (-1). Facilities that cater to golf, skiing, and
mountain bike riding tend to disrupt or damage the natural forest community.
.
County Forest. (+1). County Forests contain both conifer and hardwood
stands, and have management plans established for each tract. Recreational
activities tend to have low impact.
Areas of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI) (+2). The sites containing
ANSI areas are acknowledged as having a very special feature within them. By
their designation, they are already an area of great biological interest.
Wetlands. (+1). The larger wetlands of the moraine have been studied and
classified by Ministry of Natural Resources. For the purposes of this study, which
focuses on hardwoods, wetlands were allowed only one point.
Greater than SO% hardwood cover. (+1). No matter the size of the site, if
the woodland cover contained greater than 50% hardwoods, it gained a point.
Interior Forest. (+1). Interior forest is that which has a 100 meter or greater
buffer from around the forest edge. This usually indicates the site has a large tract
of woodland.
Species At Risk. (+2). Any site that was found to contain a designated
species at risk is of great interest and obtained two points.
.
Unique moraine species. (+1). Several species encountered on the
moraine were in low populations or very difficult to find within the study area. While
possibly more common in other places of the Province, they are unique here.
Vistas; Representative Habitat. (+1). A site that presents a good view of
the area, has been well maintained or is of great natural beauty, was provided a
point.
Corridor Linkage. (+1). Greenbelt corridors that connect sites one-to-the-
other were identified. Areas between hard divisions (such as paved roads, open
fields, hydro line corridor) were lumped together, and then links were determined
as to how these 'lumps' need to stay connected. If a site was part of this corridor it
obtained a point.
Conservation-minded Landowner. (+1). If a landowner has already
expressed or demonstrated stewardship of their land within a site, a point was
added. Admittedly, some points may not have been awarded here as not all
landowners have yet been in discussion re: stewardship options.
.
Non-willing Landowner. (-1). If a landowner within a site has refused
permission to survey their parcel, a point has been deducted. This is a bit arbitrary,
as the reasons for denial are unknown. However, some negative responses have
been due to aggregate or subdivision plans in the works.
.
.
.
Points were then totaled, with a possible 12 positive points and a possible 6
negative points to be scored. The negatives were deducted from the positives to
obtain a final score.
A Gold Ranked Site obtained five or more points, a Silver Ranked Site
obtained two to four points, and a Bronze Ranked Site tallied at 1 point or less.
Woodland subdivisions were awarded a Bronze Ranking.

LAND MANAGEMENT and/or DISTURBANCE:
Field visits to the hardwood stands indicated:
LogginglWood removal:
A wide variety of logging evidence was found within the site. Most cutting
appeared to be for fuelwood, and depending on the parcel, was either localized or
widespread. Three stations had been selective cut in a widespread area. Active
tree removal was underway in two stations; Station #10 was active with tree tops
left on the ground.
Sugarbush Operation:
No sugar bush operations were noted in Site 9.
Gaps in Forest Canopy:
Gaps in forest canopy were found throughout the site, depending upon logging
history. Station #5 had extensive gaps in tree canopy.
.
Trails and Roads:
Trails or roadways were found throughout the site, mainly to facilitate firewood
removal.
Recreational Use:
Recreational use (horse riding, ATVs, mountain bikes) appeared very low and
localized. The Line 2 road allowance is used by some motorized vehicles,
including 4x4 trucks and ATVs.
OTHER NOTES:
_ contains Simcoe County Forest (South Barr Tract: 127, 128, 129, 130)
_ adjoins Site 4 along Line 2 road allowance (unmaintained bush road). These two
sites are contiguous and could be considered as one large site.
- Sta. #2 has a 28" Mh.
Sta. #4 has a 30" Or.
_ Sta. #9 indicates a Beech dominate stand (FOD4 - 1). Note that Beech tend to
grow in clusters or colonies; this colony visually stood out as being representative
of a 'pure' beech stand.

SECTION 4: Discussion and Recommendations
4.1 Unvisited Sites
The following 24 sites were initially identified as being part of the moraine
study area, yet for various reasons did not receive a field visit during the 2001 and
2002 field seasons.
Sites 1a. 1b. 2a. 2b:
located on the extreme west boundary these sites appeared (from air photos)
to be quite broken and non-consistent. Farmland and recreational activity is the
dominant land use.
_ These sites are located across a municipal border, laying between Highways
#400 and #93, in Springwater Township (old Vespra Twp).
These sites were dropped from the visit list due to difficulty in tracking
ownership, and having minimal hardwood cover.
.
Site 3c (Horseshoe Valle v Resort)
Site 4b (Maple Hill Estates)
Site 1Sb (Oro Hills Subdivision)
Site 20b (Suaarbush Estates)
Site 3gb (Weslev Heiahts subdivision)
all the above sites are within a larger wooded site.
_ The above sites are residential subdivisions which have had a noticeable
impact on forest canopy cover.
_ Woodland subdivisions need to be studied with other criteria than that chosen
for the moraine study.
Increased edge, feeding stations and houses, planted ornamentals, lawn area,
woodlot clean-up all contribute to make a very different habitat than the original
forest provided.
_ Site 3c and Site 15b have invited us onto their properties, but no formal
field visits were conducted. This was due to limit of time available to spend
on other sites.
Site 11;
_ this site was identified earlier in the process using 1989 air photos. Field visits
found that the wooded area no longer existed in 2001 due to resort and golf
course construction.
.
.
Unvisited Sites continued:
Site 23:
an isolated site, about 110 acres in size, south of the Old Barrie Road in
Concession 5.
A road-side evaluation indicated the site was mainly wet woods and wet
thicket.
This site is also part of the Hawkestone Swamp headwaters, an area outside
the moraine study area.
Site 23 was dropped from the list of sites to visit.
this site may appear on earlier maps.
Site 24.
Site 26,
Site 27:
these large (total 1200 acre) wooded sites are located just outside the north
boundary of the moraine study area, in old Medonte Township.
These sites may appear on earlier maps.
Dropped from the visit list as they were beyond the study area.
.
Site 3S.
Site 36.
Site 37;
these sites may appear on earlier maps.
Site 35 was amalgamated with Site 32.
These sites were on the north-east boundary area, and were fairly fragmented
or very narrow.
These sites are headwaters for the Bass Lake Swamp.
36 and 37 were dropped from the visit list as they were outside the study area
and had minimal hardwood cover.
Site 43:
a 100 acre site situated south-west of the intersection of the Old Barrie Road
and Line 10.
Air photo interp indicates 50 acres of hardwood cover and 50 acres red pine
plantation.
Identified later in the study, no landowner contact done for permission.
Site 44 is to the west, across a narrow field.
.
. Unvisited Sites, continued:
Site 44:
a 50 acre site south of the Old Barrie Road in Concession 10 (between Lines 9
and 10).
Air photo interp indicates about 35 acres hardwood cover, and 15 acres conifer
plantation.
Adjacent to a newer subdivision.
Separated from Site 43 by a narrow field (could be considered a satellite
woodlot to each other).
Identified later in the study, no landowner contact done for permission.
Site 4S:
a 110 acre site of pure hardwood cover, located south of Old Barrie Road in
Concession 11.
Identified later in the study, no landowner contact done for permission.
Will need another air photo (80-8024) to accurately map stand.
.
Site 46:
Identified later in the study, no landowner contact done for permission.
May be predominately red pine.
Will need another air photo (80-8114) to accurately map stand.
Site 47:
woodland slope south of George Langman Sanctuary, lot 7, Con 14.
Outside moraine study area
Drains into Bass Lake wetland complex.
Identified later in the study, landowner gave permission, no time available.
Site 48:
smaller site at east end of moraine study area.
Totally encompassed by approved aggregate extraction re-zoning.
Dropped from the visit list.
Site 49:
large wetland/woodland complex just east of study area.
Portion of hardwood area included in aggregate extraction permit.
Dropped from the visit list.
.
.
4.2 Seasonal Revisits.
Most of the field visits in 2001 occurred from mid-summer to early fall; the
2002 field season ran from mid-spring to mid-summer. This has resulted in a
skewed comparison of sites in regards to early or late season occurrences of
flowering herbs, spring chorus of amphibians, and the migrations of some bird
species. (See Section 3: Table 8. Dates of Field Visits.)
It is recommended that field crews 'spot check' likely habitats for the above
species in the appropriate season. Land owners may wish to be involved with
these surveys.
4.3 Additional sites
Outside the boundary of the moraine study area are a variety of woodlots,
some quite large (to the north and west), others smaller and fragmented (to the
south and east).
Air photos should be looked at to assess the potential of these woodlots.
They may be part of a wildlife corridor, or may prove an interesting comparison to
the woodlots within the study area.
.
4.4 Fragmentation of Forest Canopy
The continuity or interruption of forest canopy has a direct effect as to what
species will travel or breed in the area. The field stations indicate that much
logging has taken place and has resulted in a broken canopy with many gaps.
It has been reported that a gap greater than 60 meters will discourage
some species from crossing the opening, thus limiting their home territory. Also, .1!
buffer of at least 100 meters, preferably 200, from the forest's edqe is preferred by
interior dwellinq birds.
The negative impacts on interior-dependent species should be considered
when discussing land management plans.
4.5 Corridors
Travel corridors are areas of connected habitat that wildlife species use for
migration and foraging. Crossing an open stretch of field or an open hydro line
space appears disconcerting for some species,

links, when, how
Potential disruptions of corridor links include new roadways, new
subdivisions, new golf courses, and heavy logging.
Our concern relates to the potential for the forests of the moraine to
become seamented into several smaller blocks as expandina residential areas,
aravel pits and aaricultural fields break UP the continuity of this maior woodlot
corridor. This has already occurred in the center of the moraine. Future land uses
in Concession 7 and Concessions 4/5 need to be carefully monitored to ensure
that major breaks in forest continuity do not occur there.
Another type of corridor to look at is the thickly vegetated fence lines
within the agricultural areas. Large trees (usually maple, ash and beech) have
been left or were planted along the fence lines between fields and properties.
These strips of vegetation may be providing some cover for species to access
neighbouring woodlots.
4.6 Conifer Plantations
. Much of the forest cover (approximately 50%) on the moraine is
provided by conifer trees, particularly red pine in plantations. Other plantations of
white spruce, Scot's pine, tamarack and white pine also occur. During the field
study, these plantations were not given the same scrutiny as the hardwoods that
were the designated habitat of interest; 18 of the 183 field stations were set in
conifer plantations.
These conifer plantations will all be harvested at some time, and what
will be the make-up of the replacement forest? As most of the red pines are
approaching maturity, there appears to be a time coming when harvesting of the
trees will be widespread. Care should be taken in planning as to what tree species
will be retained or re-planted, and when.
Some plantations are showing a lush shrub layer of hardwoods, with
young red cherry, maple, beech and red oak being the dominant species. Other
plantations have little or no growth to regenerate the forest once the pines are
removed.
A survey to study understory replacement of plantations should be
conducted to assess the potential outcome with the inevitable removal of the
mature pines, and the best management practices to develop future native
hardwood forests in their place.
.
. 4.7 Logging Practices
Several types of cutting operations were noted at the field stations,
ranging from land owner 'do-it-yourself firewood removal to full-scale commercial
logging contracts.
It appeared that the larger the operation, the messier the woodlot was
left. Individual land owners tend to clean up the branches of felled trees, by piling
or burning the debris; commercialloaaers tend to leave the tops and broken stems
where they lay, creatina a forest floor that is very difficult to traverse and not
conducive to aood reaeneration. Skidder tires tend to cut deep ruts in the soft soils
and further dearade the remainina woodlot.
Poor logging practices were found on both public (County Forests) and
private lands. An investigation of who logged what forest stand should provide a
list of competent loggers versus the 'in it for the money' operators. During field
visits land owners have requested such a listing.
.
Forest harvesting for firewood and logs is a viable activity on the
moraine, yet needs to have balance with concern for canopy gaps, forest floor
litter, and wildlife living space. On one site a large stick nest (possibly red-
shouldered hawk) was cut down during winter logging operations.
Discussion needs to be had with the Simcoe County Forester to
ascertain what level of logging standards are acceptable, and how such operations
are monitored.
4.8 Woodland Subdivisions
Within the moraine study area, several housing subdivisions have been
established or are being constructed. (see also Section 1.5c Woodland
Subdivisions and 1.6 Site Rankings).
The impacts on the natural woodland community are undocumented but
are likely to include: fragmentation of the forest canopy; removal or thinning of the
shrub layer; increased predation of birds and small mammals by cats; noise and
impact of vehicles; interference of groundwater recharge by pavement and
ditching; and planting of exotic ornamental flowers and shrubs. All of these
activities combine to change the character of the once natural woodlot.
.
On the other hand, a proliferation of bird feeders, bird houses and native
fruit bearing shrubs will enhance this urbanized community. This opens the door to
implementing urban wildlife programs to clusters of home owners.
.
4.9 Rare, Vulnerable and Threatened Species
As part of the moraine study, certain species that are in population decline
were 'targeted'. These included several species of woodland birds which require
interior forest for breeding, a rare fern (Ebony Spleenwort), a threatened plant
(Wild Ginseng), and a threatened bird (Red-shouldered Hawk).
While the fern was not located, several of the other species were
documented across the moraine: one siahtina of a Red-shouldered hawk: six
stations with Wild Ginsena: and a scatterina of woodland interior birds le.a. Wood
Thrush, Scarlet Tanaaer). Other species, locations and occurrences are likely
present but were not discovered during this study.
To protect these unique species, the exact locations of these discoveries
will not be released to the general public. However, known locations for these
species should be protected as much as possible through municipal planning
policies and landowner stewardship. Landowners will be advised of the presence
of these species on their lands.
4.10 Areas of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI)
.
Two Areas of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI) are located on the
moraine, and two more touch the edges of the study area.
The Martin Farm ANSI is located in Lots 9, 10 and 11 of Concessions 6 and
7 and is classified as a Reaionally Sianificant Life Science ANSI. This area
coincides with the southerly portions of Sites 22 and 30 of this study. In 2001 very
little of this ANSI remained in its original state: Site 22 has been intensely
developed as a mountain bike and cross country ski recreation area with a myriad
of trails cut and maintained through the forested ravines; and Site 30 has seen
aggregate interests destroy most of that section of the ANSI. A remnant area
found in the Simcoe County Forest yielded a few large diameter red oak and a
stand of wild ginseng.
The RuabyWestANSI is located in Lots 7,8,9,10 of Concessions 11 and
12, and is classified as a Provincially sianificant Life Science ANSI. This area
coincides with Site 40a of this study. While some firewood and logging operations
have taken place here, the ANSI is currently in good shape. The land ownership
pattern is much like a 'patchwork quilt', with a variety of large and small parcels
found within the ANSI boundary.
The Bass Lake Forests ANSI is located in Lots 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 in Concessions
11, 12, and 13, and is classified as a Reaionally sianificant Life Science ANSI.
This area is just to the north-east of this projects study area boundary, and is also
.
620000
.
known as the Provincially significant Bass Lake Wetland. Site 38 touches the edge
of this ANSI.
The Copeland Forest ANSI has a Reaionally sianificant Life Science rating,
and is located along the north-west boundary of this study area, with parts of Sites
3a, 3b, and 3d overlapping with this area. The Copeland Forest, which is
owned/operated by the Province, has a management plan in place.
See map on file at office of Couchiching Conservancy entitled "Oro
Moraine, Simcoe County, Areas of Natural and Scientific Interest" as prepared by
Ontario Ministry of natural Resources.
4.11 Application of Province-Wide Evaluation Guidelines
.
The Federation of Ontario Naturalists, as part of its Southern Ontario Woodlands
Program, has been working with municipalities and other agencies to develop
guidelines for evaluating woodlands on a consistent and defensible basis in the
area south of the Canadian Shield. This project has reviewed evaluation
approaches applied by such areas as Halton Region, City of London, Middlesex
County, City of Ottawa, and others. Several workshops have been held with staff
from municipalities, conservation authorities, ministries, and non-government
conservation groups.
A working draft Guidelines for the Identification of Significant Woodlands, dated
January 31, 2003, has been developed and is currently being tested. The intent of
these Guidelines is to provide minimum standards for the evaluation process that
would identify significant woodlands on a comparable basis across all of southern
Ontario. Several levels of evaluation are proposed, and municipalities are
encouraged to apply additional criteria that relate to local conditions.
We applied Level 2 of this draft evaluation approach to the Oro Moraine forests.
Five criteria are identified within this level:
a) Woodland Patch Size: Thresholds for minimum patch size to be considered
significant are based on the degree of forest cover within the surrounding
landscape. In the case of the Oro Moraine, the highest category of forest cover
has been applied, so only woodlands 40 ha or larger meet this criterion. (Note:
under the FON approach, some of the Oro Moraine woodland sites would be
combined, but we evaluated each one separately.)
b) Interior Forest Habitat: Any woodland patch with a minimum of 4 ha of interior
habitat, defined using a 100 metre buffer from the woodland edge, meets this
criterion.
.
.
.
.
c) Hydrological Linkages: A woodland is considered significant if any portion is
within 30 metres of a stream or wetland, or within the catchment area of 1st order
watercourses, or within recharge, discharge, or shallow aquifer areas.
d) Landscape Connectivity: Any woodland that falls within a designated core or
corridor area defined by the Bigger Picture project or a municipal natural heritage
network is considered significant for this criterion. We interpreted this on the Oro
Moraine to include woodlands identified as part of the County of Simcoe natural
heritage system.
e) Slope and Erodibility: Any woodland on slopes greater than or equal to 10%,
or on soils subject to wind and water erosion. For sites on the Oro Moraine, we
applied this criterion only if steep slopes were present in substantial parts of the
site.

This application shows that among the 31 woodlands surveyed, 23 meet all five of
the province-wide criteria, and a further five meet four criteria. In fact, the FON
Guidelines specify that a woodland need only meet one Level 2 criterion to be
identified as significant. All 31 woodlands meet that threshold.
This analysis serves as a potent reminder of the exceptional significance of the
forests of the Oro Moraine in the broader context of southern Ontario. In most
parts of agricultural southern Ontario, the remaining woodlands are small,
scattered, and dominated by swamplands. The high quality upland hardwoods
that dominate the Oro Moraine are a very scarce resource elsewhere in southern
Ontario.

Dear Mayor Craig:
Thank you for your letter of January 16, 2006 expressing council's support for a
resolution by the Township of Loyalist with regard to compensation for livestock owners
for predation by fishers in Ontario. I appreciate that you have taken the time to share
council's views on this important matter with me.
The Livestock, Poultry and Honey Bee Protection Act was designed to provide
compensation to producers of specific livestock species for damage resulting from wolf,
coyote or dog attacks and for damage to honey bee colonies or honey bee equipment
caused by bears. The Bear Damage to Livestock Program provides compensation for
livestock killed or injured by bears.
The Ontario government understands that wild predators can be a serious concern to
those producers that are directly affected. For this reason, staff of the Ministry of
Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs are actively working with the Ministry of Natural
Resources and other stakeholders to develop a province wide strategy for managing
wildlife-human conflicts.
Thank you, once again, for writing.
Sincerely,
~/J~Jy

The Honourable Leona Dombrowsky
Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs
Public Archives Building
77 Grenville St., 11th Floor
Toronto, ON M5S 1B3
Dear Minister Dombrowsky:
The Council of The Corporation of Loyalist Township has solicited the Township of Ora-
Medonte's support of their request to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs to
include fishers as predators for which claims for injured or killed livestock can be reimbursed.
To reiterate, The Township of Oro-Medonte requested the Ministry of Agriculture and Food and
the Ministry of Natural Resources to recognize the threat of predation to livestock by
cougars/pumas within Ontario in correspondence dated September 26,2005 (attached). The
Township of Oro-Medonte is a largely rural municipality and is also active in the programs
sponsored by your Ministry under the Livestock, Poultry, and Honeybee Protection Act, to
compensate livestock owners for predation of their stock.
Therefore, on behalf of Council of the Township, I would respectfully request that you give
favourable consideration to the recommendation of Loyalist Township.
Yours truly,
O~lJd~ -

Dear Mayor Craig and Council
Re: 2005 NVCA PROGRAM SERVICE SUMMARY FOR
ORO-MEDONTE TOWNSHIP
Enclosed please find a brief overview of the Conservation Program Services
provided to Oro-Medonte Township in partnership with the NVCA.
LAND AND WATER STEWARDSHIP SERVICES
Healthy Waters Program (HWP):
. Well decommissioning project - The well was located on a sheep
farm and was being contaminated by manure run-off. The well has
been decommissioned and the landowners installed a new, drilled
well away from any contamination sources.
. Barn eavestrough project - The farmer installed eavestrough to
divert clean water from becoming contaminated with manure.
. Pond analysis site visit - Worked with a landowner to identify best
management practices for managing his ponds. The ponds have
become contaminated with excess phosphorous and bacteria which
has led to unsightly algae blooms. The landowner received a
package outlining the options for better managing his ponds and
surrounding lands.
Well and Septic Information Seminar - In partnership with Simcoe
Health Unit and Bass Lake Ratepayers Association, hosted a morning
session to inform landowners about maintaining their well and septic
systems to protect ground and surface water.

The first two desired outcomes of IGAP
are nearly achieved
1. Define the grow capacity of the Lake Simcoe and
Nottawasaga River watersheds.
Assimilative Ca~acity Study CACS) results achieved:
./ The current state of both of the watersheds is known
./ The projected state of both watersheds at OP growth commitment is
known
~ The model is available to assess various options and scenarios
2. Provide development (servicing) certainty for
intensification and approved growth.
Existing Ca~acity Assessment CECA) results achieved:
./ The actual OP growth committed is known
./ The actual servicing capacities of the current and committed
infrastructure is known
./ The "servicing gap" is known
~ Options to overcome the "servicing gap" are under development
February 22, 2006 4
Work has begun on achieving the
remaining two desired outcomes of IGAP
3. Define Barrie and area's capacity for additional
growth.
· Growth Potential Assessment CGPA)
4. Ensure effective and sustainable municipal
governance.
· Implementation Assessment CIA)

Implications and strategic
considerations
. Maintaining the health of the water bodies
. The Lake and River are currently stressed
. Going forward, additional best management practices are required
. Development certainty
. Current land supplies are more than adequate, at least for the
medium term
. Adequate and appropriate infrastructure is a concern
. Land use - sewer and water gap needs to be closed
. Transportation corridors require protection
. Effective municipal governance
. Focus should be on the inter-municipal mechanisms to best
manage the current commitments considering the infrastructure
and environmental issues.

2. Call to Order
. Harry Hughes called the meeting to order.
. He noted that the Oro-Medonte Doctor Recruitment Committee had
raised the recruitment and retention of physicians within Oro-
Medonte and this was the focus of this working group.
. He also noted that both RVH and SMH had committees and
strategies in place to recruit physicians for their hospitals and that
\;;~
representatives of the hospitals would be involved in this working
group
3. Election of Chairperson
. Ralph Hough moved, seconded by John Thornton, that Harry
Hughes be chairperson. Carried
4. Election of Reporting Secretary
. Mac Shields moved, seconded by John Thornton, that David
Kennedy be reporting secretary. Carried
.
5. Round Table Introductions
. Harry Hughes asked each representative to introduce themselves
and their interest in the issue.
. The working group established by the Township of Oro-Medonte is
open to all residents and encourages representation from:
. The Township Council
. The Hospital community
. The Oro-Medonte Chamber of Commerce
. The Oro-Medonte Doctor Recruitment Committee
. Residents of Oro-Medonte.
. Harry Hughes noted that representative(s) of the Lions and Lioness
Clubs should be added.
6. Review of the Working Group Terms of Reference
. The memorandum prepared by John Thornton on the
recommended direction for the working group based on the
mandate established by council.
. The recommended directionof the working group was to combine
the resources of Oro-Medonte Council, the Physician Recruitment
Committees and local associations in order to identify physicians
willing to locate in Oro-Medonte and to determine the process
whereby the Council would support their relocation to Oro-Medonte.
. The working group would:
. Develop and implement strategies to recruit family
physicians for permanent practice and locum tenant's in Oro-
Medonte,
. Determine the funds to be made available for doctor
recruitment,
. Determine a short and long term financial plan for the
encouragement of doctors to locate in Oro-Medonte plan,
. Liaise with local charitable groups and residents to
encourage concrete community support
. Identify and complete negotiations with physicians by March
15,2006. To have at least one new physician serving
residents of Oro-Medonte by July 1, 2006.
7. Experience ofthe Barrie and Orillia Physician Recruitment
Committees
. Pam Colqluhoun and Cathy Caldwell outlined the experience to
date of RVH. In 2001, RVH identified the shortage of physicians as
a key issue and established a recruitment committee and hired a
recruiter/coordinator (Pam Colqluhoun). In 2002, the recruitment
strategy was launched. The key activities include:
. Attendance at annual medical school recruitment fairs
. Provision of support to medical students who do their
training at RVH
. Coordination of community visits for prospective physicians.
And
. Support for fast tracking foreign physicians.
. In 4 years, the RVH has recruited 69 new physicians. This includes
19 family physicians, of whom 12 replaced local family physicians
and 7 were net new family physicians.
. Jackie Shaunessy outlined that SMH had a recruitment committee
and significant previous experience. However, she was new to her
position with the committee and will report back at a future meeting
on current and future plans.
. Both the RVH and SMH Committees will do marketing to support
recruitment of physicians into Oro-Medonte.
. Harry Hughes noted that the Township supported the efforts of the
RVH and SMH through annual contributions. In 2005, the council
contributed $2,500 to both hospital committees. In the past, the
council has also contributed to the Midland Hospital.
. A report provided by Ruth Fountain shows the contributions to the
Physician Recruitment committees as follows:
RVH Committee Contributions SMH Committee Contributions
City of Barrie $100,000 Citv of Orillia $5,000
Town of Innisfil $30,000 T of Severn $5,000
T of SprinQwater $10,000 T of Ramara 0
T of Oro-Medonte $2,500 T of Oro-Medonte $2,500
RVH $66,000 Mnjikaning First 0
Nation
8. Review and Update on Work to Date in Oro-Medonte
. John Thornton and Mac Shields reviewed experience to date in
Oro-Medonte. The Township completed a survey of 50% of the
residential households (4000) and received 1000 responses. Of the
respondents, 30% did not have a family doctor within 50 km (or
miles?). John said Oro-Medonte could support a group
practice/office of 4-5 physicians.
. John also highlighted the proposal developed by the Doctor
Recruitment Committee and Dr. Elsie of the Valley Road
Health/Dental Centre. To expand her centre for physicians would
have required $700,000. This proposal was discussed with the
Township CEO and Treasurer and did not go to council for review.
. Ralph Hough noted that it was crucial to decide where such a
medical centre would go in Oro-Medonte. The Township is
geographically large, stretching from Coldwater to Orillia and, then,
over to the top end of Barrie. As well, should the centre be in an
existing sub-community or a new growth centre?
. John Thornton suggested that underlying this discussion is the
crucial issue of your vision for Oro-Medonte. Is Oro-Medonte a
bedroom subdivision for Orillia and Barrie or is it a more self-
sufficient community?
9. Round Table Discussions
. Harry Hughes, then, initiated a general discussion of the issues and
challenges surrounding doctor recruitment.
. Pam noted that the key factors in recruiting family doctors were:
. Access to medical services (such as lab and imaging
services and pharmacy)
. A Turn-key operation provided by a retiring physician or the
private sector (including office, equipment, IT systems, staff)
. A clinic environment where they work with 2-4 more
physicians to provide back-up and support
. Variety in work, involving surgical assistance, emergency
work, etc.
. Limited support for moving costs was valuable.
. In the discussion, it was further noted that:
. Family doctors were often physician couples and that the
needs of both spouses ought to be considered.
. A doctor may want to consider moving to Oro-Medonte as a
pre-retirement strategy. A focus on recruiting doctors in their
late middle age would provide mentors to younger doctors
recruited to the area. There are already a number of doctors
who live in Oro-Medonte but practice elsewhere.
. Medical centres require appropriate water treatment and
sewage services. The land required for such a centre may
be between 12-20 acres to support the septic system.
. Some communities have helped to build physician/group practice
offices. Pam noted that Fergus and Orangeville had positive
success with their turnkey office. However, other communities
have had difficulty filling the offices. Alliston's office, for instance,
sat empty for 3 years before being filled. Washago had a location
but was never able to find a physician.
. As a go-forward strategy, there was discussion of the following
issues:
. The need to look at available space for a medical centre
within the Township with enough land for the septic system.
. The need to have a clear understanding of the business
model for a medical practice so the strategy is practical
. The need to determine how much money the Township puts
aside for physician recruitment
. The need to ensure that citizens are informed of the
recruitment activities and
. The need to address what kind of community support could
be provided to assist Barrie and Orillia to recruit physicians
to the region. The community/township could assist with
local contacts and other support for tours.
. Harry Hughes noted that it was important to start small and build to
a larger and more comprehensive approach.
10. Task List
. Prior to the next meeting, it was agreed the committee would
address:
. Criteria for establishinQ a medical office in a rural area and
business plan process. Dr. Elsie could be invited to review
the proposal to establish a clinic and the key factors to be
considered. Pam could add her insights from the Barrie
experience. Pam also volunteered to review the experience
of medical centres in other communities
. A review could be undertaken of possible locations, including
those municipal properties. Everyone should consider
possible locations.
. Awareness of the status of possible phvsicians. The Oro-
Medonte Doctor Recruitment Committee could report back
on any current leads.
. Additional information from the Township survev. The Town
councilors agreed to bring back this information.
. Additional members. RVH and SMH could invite one or
more physicians to join the working group meeting to review
the issues from their perspective.
. Harry Hughes encouraged everyone to invite others to come out to
the next meeting. Further input and information would be valuable
to our discussions. As well, volunteers can assist us to form sub-
committees to help recruit doctors to our area.
11. Next Meeting
. The next meeting is scheduled for February 16th 7:00 pm at the Old
Town Hall, 7 Line/Highway 11.
. The minutes would be circulated bye-mail in advance of the next
meeting.
12. Adjournment
. The meeting adjourned at 9:15 pm.

SIMCOE COUNTY DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD POSITION PAPER WITH RESPECT
TO THE SHANTY BAY PUBLIC SCHOOL / COMMUNITY CENTRE
BACKGROUND
The Simcoe County District School Board (f~merly the Simcoe County Board of Education)
entered into an agreement with The Corporation of the Township of Oro-Medonte (formerly the
Township of Oro) on December 18, 1978 to share the capital and operating costs forthe
construction and operation of an addition to Shanty Bay Public School, hereinafter referred to as
"the facility". The community raised a significant amount of money toward this worthy project.
The original agreement, as stated in section 1 0, was for a term of twenty (20) years and was
renewable by either party for further renewal periods of five (5) years for as many such renewal
periods as either of the parties required. Notwithstanding, it was stated in this agreement that it
may be terminated on any anniversary date.
Since the inception of the original agreement, there have been two (2) renewal terms, providing
a total period of more than 27 years of shared use of this facility. The most recent renewal of
the agreement will expire on April 18, 2006.
The Simcoe County District School Board (SCDSB) recognizes the magnitude of the
contributions made by the Shanty Bay Community Hall Board, through the Township, in making
this facility, and all that it has to offer, a reality for the students of the school and for the
community. Over the past 27 years, both the students and the community have benefited from
the enhancements made to the original design of the gym addition. It is the Simcoe County
District School Board's intent to continue to provide the use of this facility to the community. It is
the policy of the board that its facilities will be made available for community use for the mutual
benefit of students and the community.
CURRENT STATUS
As time progresses, the expectations placed on school boards by government and the school
community have changed. There is a heightened concern for the safety of our children. It is
also demonstrated that safer schools had higher test scores in mathematics and reading than
unsafe schools. The current location of the main office at Shanty Bay Public School does not
provide for a view of visitors entering the facility from the main entrance. This security risk is a
problem that must be addressed in the most feasible and viable manner possible.
SCDSB also recognizes that the Shanty Bay Community Hall Board (hereinafter referred to as
the Hall Board) has a number of concerns about the future use of the facility. Outlined in the
following pages are the concerns from the community that have been communicated to the
board, and how the board will address each of these concerns.

As a quoted by the Minister of
Education, "every student has
the right to feel safe and be
safe in school and on school
grounds". School boards are
required to "ensure that the
only people coming in and out
of the school are those who
belong there". The current
location of the main office is not
in view of the main entrance
and therefore, may compromise
the safety and security of
students and staff. It is
necessary that the main office
be relocated to a room that
allows staff to have visual
contact of any visitors to the
school. The most viable
location is the community room.

Equipment:
The Hall Board has
expressed concern about
the allocation of the
equipment purchased by
the Hall Board.
The SCDSB acknowledges the
contributions made by the Hall
Board. In order to determine
the allocation of equipment, the
Hall Board is requested to
provide an inventory of such
" equipment.

equipment by the Hall

SUMMARY
Understanding the issues facing school board's today, particularly surrounding the safety and
security of students, and of the concerns raised by the Shanty Bay Community Hall Board, the
Simcoe County District School Board is confident that the needs of both the students and the
community may be satisfied. Both parties have enjoyed a partnership in the use of the facility at
Shanty Bay Public School for over 27 years. It is the intent of the board to continue to provide
the use of this facility to the community.
The current Shanty Bay Public School parents, teachers, support staff, and administration are
requesting that the board put safety measures in place through an office relocation. The
relocation of the main office into the community room will resolve the current security risk at
Shanty Bay Public School. The use of the facilities will be made available through the board's .
permit office. It will no longer be necessary for the Shanty Bay Community Hall Board to
fundraise to pay for lump sum renewal and operating costs. This would relieve the Hall Board
from the demands of dealing with the rentals of the facility by community groups. The
requirement to provide custodial servicing and to ensure the security of the facility after each
permitted event will be the responsibility of the school board.
The permit application process is easily accessible and is supported by knowledgeable permit
office staff. The board's provision of custodial services for all community events will ensure that
the facility is safe and secure prior to and after all permitted events. The custodian's presence
will allow for prompt and appropriate attention to any facility emergencies that may arise.
In recognition of the significant contributions made by the Hall Board to the facility, the school
board will continue to allow similar daytime access as the Hall Board members have enjoyed
over the past 27 years, and upon receipt of the Hall Board's inventory of equipment, the school
board is open to negotiating the allocation of said equipment.
CONCLUSION
The Simcoe County District School Board is committed to providing a safe learning environment
for its students. It endorses and encourages the community's participation in the use of its
facilities and resources. As such, all school board facilities, including the Shanty Bay Public
School, will be made available for the mutual benefit of both students and the community. A
joint use agreement between the school board and the municipality will be another positive step
forward in providing affordable use.
.
SCDSB looks forward to continuing the positive relationship with the Hall Board and the
Township of Oro-Medonte.

II BACKGROUND:
II
In past years, quotations for departmental vehicle replacements were obtained in early
May once budget deliberations were completed and the budget finalized. Due to the
timing, vehicles had to be purchased from different dealerships.
In May of 2005, fifteen dealerships were hand delivered request for proposal for the
required new vehicles, only two quotations where returned, It was determined that
most dealerships could not supply the required vehicles at this time of year, The timing
with respect to soliciting quotes is important; requesting quotes earlier in the year
provides more dealerships the opportunity to compete in rendering a quotation, The
other benefit to tendering earlier in the year is that the dealerships have a supply of
merchandise on hand and can be more competitive in offering a better price,
To assist Council in their deliberations a comprehensive list of current vehicles has
been provided for Council's review (attachment 1).
It was further determined that Council be provided with a list of vehicles that are
recommended to be disposed of in 2006 through the North Toronto Auction with the
